Jets quarterback Joe Flacco took the podium Wednesday and, while wearing a mask, said he was not vaccinated against COVID-19. He did not want to go into detail on his decision.
He said he wouldn't mind giving his reasoning for not getting vaccinated but added that it would be a "distraction" if he did. Instead, he preferred to just talk football.
The Jets traded for Flacco back in October when Zach Wilson went down with a PCL injury in Week 7. Flacco was announced as the started earlier Wednesday — beating out Mike White for the job.
